He began training in WSLVT under Sifu Lawrence Leung Chee Sing who was one of Wong Shun Leung’s earliest and top students, assistant instructors, and seminar tourmates. Starting in March 1997, Dwight trained intensely under Sifu Leung until the school’s closing in February 2004 where he continued testing and honing fighting skills through challenge matches, working as security, and the pavement arena.

The passion of learning and training continued by making annual visits to seminars conducted by Sifu David Peterson. One trip in 2008 resulted in being a live-in, private student of Sifu Gary Lam receiving a certificate of Outstanding Level. In 2011, attending the ‘Border Incident WSLVT Gathering’ in Australia, Sifu David Peterson presented Dwight with an Instructor’s shirt. In October 2012, the passport found its way to Hong Kong and then to Malaysia to participate in the 1st Worldwide Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun Fellowship Gathering.

He had also received the distinguished honour of an Award of Recognition, seated amongst celebrated WSLVT Sifus and delegates during the opening ceremonies, and being a representative spokesperson for WSLVT Second Generation students.

Honoured to have inherited this 40+ year old teak HK Mook Yan Jong with one piece guava leg.

Wasn't properly maintained and needs a lot of work to remove the shellac, sealant, and other chemical layers on it that have yellowed and affected the wood drying out the surface layer causing some fraying in parts of the trunk and the tracks.
As well as filling and treating some of the small fissures in the trunk.

Will be restoring it to breathe new life into its new home becoming a beautiful piece once again.
Hope to make its original owner of those many decades proud as he looks down from above.

Step by step photos of the restoration work will be posted.

Spending the spring, summer, and fall working the Ving Tsun Gwun and making sure the group is proficient in the Lok Dim Boon Gwun form, concepts, mechanics, drills, and applications. 

We spent a good portion of last night exploring how the pole translates to strength and conditioning, and unified coordination that applies to empty hand applications.

Will share some vids and pics from our next sessions.

Real To Reel // Laap Sau Practical Application 

From the WSLVT Chi Sau Workshop this week as part of our Weekly GTA Wing Chun Meetup on Tuesday, June 18th 2024.

Throughout this evening we worked fundamental Lin Siu Dai Da actions through Chi Sau and then their practical applications.
Here we work Laap Sau to ward off and spread away the interfering action as well as employing Je Lik (borrowing force) to exploit aggression and momentum.

Feed your mind.
Fuel your fist.
